Ok, lets start

1) You have a ATI 9600 card.
2) You haven't installed ATI's grpahics drivers.

So the solution is:

1) Go to System --> Administration --> Restricted Manager
If ATI graphics is not enabled, enable it.

Else if you don't see such a option at all, go to this page and try installing your drivers.

I still get the

user@ubuntu:~$ compiz --replace
Fatal: Failed test: texture_from_pixmap support
Checks indicate that it's impossible to start compiz on your system

error

any ideas

[G_force]

now i cant start xgl but now it looks like this:

[motscousus]

i am the happy owner (irony) of a Ati Radeon Mobilty M6 LY.

it used to work under gutsy a few weeks ago. and then stopped after an update.

message when starting the X server is =

(EE) RADEON(0): Static buffer allocation failed. Disabling DRI.
(EE) RADEON(0): At least 22500 kB of video memory needed at this resolution and depth.

i tried to lower the but depth to 16bits (i also had to add a "VideoRam 16384" in xorg.conf)

compiz then tell me the max texture size (512) is smaller than current resolution. well fine, just switch the good old 320*200 !!

It then works like a charm. 3D acceleration and compiz :)


so now i know 3D _can_ work with this ait card, how can i make it work at a normal resolution (1024*768 ) ?

Are you sure that you have installed ATI drivers correctly?

Post the output of

glxinfo

[misfitpierce]

If in glxinfo it says Direct Rendering NO then they were not set up correctly...

A useful script called envy can auto set up newest drivers...

Drivers are not installed correctly:

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.2)

Should see something like:

OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1600 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6747 (8.40.4)


You should try the envy script to help you install the ATI drivers.

http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html

*Just read the directions and follow.

drivers are right now, but i still get that dodgy xgl screen

[mysticmatrix]

Yes, you have got correct ATI drivers installed.

Have you tried the method A from this site to set XGL?

drivers are right now, but i still get that dodgy xgl screen

I see that you have a 9600 - If it's an AGP one, i tried everything under the sun to get it to work, and failed. It seemed to work little better (ironically) when i didn;'t plug it into aboard with an nForce chipset, but alas still no compiz. If it's the latest drivers, i'd wait until the next batch comes out as these drivers were really meant for the hd2000 of something and not designed for the older chipsets according to ATi, hopefully the next lot will have better support.
I have no expierience with PCIe ATi version of the card but I imagine it will be similar...

The flaw with the driver im sure I read somewhere is that it doesn't support this function which is required - texture_from_pixmap support. i could be wrong though.

damn,
yeah i haven't found anywhere where anyone has gotten ati cards to work with beryl without xgl

it could be better when xgl is in beta atleast not alpha

BTW Method A is the current method i am using

[G_force]

i got it working using amaranth's repos.

but now i dont have a cube i have a 2 sided screen i.e. like a card

any ideas?

delete the .compiz folder maybe?

1.) right click on you workspace switcher>select preferences>set number of workspaces to 1
2.) System>Preferences>Compiz-Config Settings Manager
3.) Click on "General Options"
4.) Click on "Desktop Size" tab
5.) Set the "Horizontal Virtual Size = 4

enjoy :-)

thanks fellas
its running great
